HKC Automated Storage and Retrieval System (ASRS) for Library Book Vault
The Book Vault at Singapore Changi Airport Terminal 3 is a sophisticated solution aimed at optimizing the retrieval and return processes of books. This system utilizes Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMR) equipped with robotic arms, elevators, and grippers. These robots interact seamlessly with specially designed bookshelves, ensuring efficient handling of books during both retrieval and return operations.
Housed in a glass enclosure, a robotic arm navigates the shelves to fetch and organize titles based on patrons’ requests, significantly reducing manual and labor-intensive tasks.
Visitors can select their preferred books through a touchscreen kiosk, after which the robot delivers the chosen title to a designated collection point.
With all components designed to be movable, the Book Vault allows for easy deployment, maintenance, and configuration to adapt to dynamic environments.
